If Island is crowded = pretty much always except during super off period...

However, when able to quad you can basically destroy 4 seafuries every +/- 11min if you are good at it and you cant tell me necros can do better, because they cant.
Getting 4 is the hard part - Necros don't have to worry about that, so they can.

And who the fuck wants to play a mage where you are basically sidekick to your pet and all you can do is heal and hope agro doesn't come your way.
Not defending the fun of the mage class, but they level faster than wizards most of the time...

And when i say porting for pp of course im talkin about pre seafury lvl and you can make SICK amounts of plat bound in ec, beleive me i know.
Again, it's "ok" for mid-level, but you'll make more off certain item camps than from spending your time exclusively porting for plat.

Its amazing hearing this coming from a fellow wiz who should know these things but seems clueless.
Call me clueless if you like, but you haven't dealt with any of the numbers i've put up. Even with c2, you're running about 16 dps over time if you're not maxing your mana out (as no wizard would in a group).

Melee do far more sustained damage over the course of a group than a wizard does. Period.

Noones gettin misty eyed over a lil 658 pt nuke..... but it does damage and unless you just suck at playing your wiz you can nuke 1-2 times easily per mob ( in seb it DOES take 2min to kill a mob with a balanced group) and provide ample dps... of course not as good as dps classes but it is suffienct.
I don't see how "unless you suck you can nuke 1-2 times..." Is it skill to meditate the full amount of mana?

Sufficient doesn't cut it - especially when a rogue of equal level would have dealt 3-4x+ that amount of damage you put out per mob, he isn't limited by mana, and he can control his aggro more easily.

I also don't always nuke the same amount of times every fight, since I want to stay at a relatively high level to frontload damage when it's needed most (i.e. large pulls or breaking rooms, etc).

And please tell me sir whats better xp from 40 -50 quadding bloodgills? Answer : nothing and ill put my life on that shit.
Bloodgills are really awesome, but i've played both wizard and necro. I doubt wizard leveling crests necro single-target speed in the right zone, even doing bloodgills...and I wouldn't put my life on it unless I have the numbers in front of me.

I guess all im trying to say as i defend the wiz is that it IS a fun as hell class to play and not once have i felt inferior to anyone
I don't feel personally inferior to anyone, but I know my class is inferior in certain aspects. Eventually this game comes down to a set of numbers - and how those numbers line up makes all the difference. Nothing i've said demeans or derides the wizard class. It just puts it in its proper perspective.
